Today, there are three news in Chinese football, three news from three places in the north and south, from the three different roles of players, management and clubs, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is all one word: money; three words: money.

The first news is that the national football captain Arthur Junmin took the lead in asking for a salary, he has not received a salary since joining the Wuhan team, on Weibo Arthur Junmin said that the salary of the Wuhan team has been delayed from the end of the season to the New Year, from the New Year to the New Year, and has not been given until now. At the same time as Arthur Junmin spoke, Yang Boyu, Ye Chongqiu, Huang Zichang and several other Wuhan players also asked for salaries on Weibo at the same time.
The second news is that Dong Wensheng, the former chairman of Tianjin TEDA, has been arrested by prosecutors on suspicion of accepting bribes. This is the latest judicial action after Tianjin Teda Dong Wensheng, Li Guangyi and others were taken away.
The third news was the announcement issued by guangzhou team to terminate their contracts with five naturalized players, Aloisio, Elkeson, Alain, Fernando and Gaulat. This basically declared the complete failure of China's naturalization movement. At the same time, the Internet also circulated the notice of guangzhou team's salary limit for the new season, and the maximum annual salary of first-team players was only 600,000 yuan.
The three messages seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact, there is one commonality, that is, money. The Wuhan players want money, the Tianjin boss is greedy for money, and the Guangzhou team has no money.

The popularity of Chinese football is because of money, but this bubble rises fast and bursts faster. And from these three money-related messages, it may still be possible to read something.
Not long ago, after the Chinese women's football team won the championship, the issue of women's football's income became the focus again, and the men's football team made too much money and became the object of criticism. Many self-media have published articles or videos criticizing the men's football team who is who has how much of an annual salary, and then paired with the occasional mistake collection in their game, the implication is that these male footballers do not deserve so much money.
In fact, matching or not matching is completely a market rule, which is also easy to do. For example, the current Guangzhou team, because the parent company is almost on the verge of closure, the club while carrying out stock reform, while giving players a salary limit, this salary limit is not the same as the 3 million a year required by the Football Association. The annual salary required by the Football Association is obviously calculated, in line with the annual salary of the international football market, and the annual salary of guangzhou team of 600,000 yuan is calculated according to the operational ability of its team.
That is to say, the market law in international football is that the best players in China should be able to get an annual salary of 3 million. According to the Guangzhou team's own market operation ability, the best player in the team is 600,000 annual salary. Although the best players in Guangzhou are not necessarily the best in China, the 5-fold gap from 3 million to 600,000 is still staggering.
How much are Chinese players worth? On the level, the value of 3 million yuan, on the domestic football market, only 600,000 yuan. Then it is clear that the problem is not in the players, but in the development of the domestic football market.
That is to say, before the player took tens of millions of annual salary, someone maliciously speculated on the annual salary, and now the player takes hundreds of thousands of annual salary, but also someone maliciously pulls down the annual salary. Both of these behaviors are actually wrong, but from the perspective of managers, the FOOTBALL Association has little way to deal with it.
In fact, it doesn't matter how much the chinese player gets an annual salary, it's just a number after all. Look at Arthur Junmin to know that the numbers are written there, but it is difficult to say how much is in hand. It is always said that Chinese players make more money and make money easily, but who knows when it will suddenly disappear?
Women's football earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which is not much to say, but because of the support of local football associations and Chinese football associations, it is relatively stable. The men's soccer team claims to be millions and tens of millions, but maybe one day it will not give you a penny, and you will not come if you want to go.
Playing soccer is like buying money, which sounds like a lot of profits, but it may be grainy.
Players have been training hard for decades, when the market is good, earn a little more, when the market is not good, there is no point, which is not the first time in Chinese football. So, where did the money go? Looking at Dong Wensheng, we know that the so-called investment has not finally entered the pockets of those in power.
What Dong Wensheng accepted bribes for is still unknown. Previously, it was taken away, which is said to be related to the signing of foreign aid contracts. Then general manager Li Guangyi and well-known broker Li Feng were also investigated, so was Dong Wensheng's bribery related to the transfer transaction? I believe that the law will be heard in the future.
After so many years of hot money hyped up in Chinese football, players actually get only a small piece, and more money is used in some vague and meaningless places. For example, naturalization, Evergrande spent hundreds of millions of dollars in order to naturalize, but in exchange for a place of chicken feathers. And where did that money go?
Now it seems that in the football industry, most of the investors' money may satisfy the selfish desires of some people. The chairman of the club, the general manager and even the head coach and the management of the team together, the domestic agent to share the money is not uncommon in this circle. In the end, it is not necessarily the pockets of male footballers that bulge, but the pockets of businessmen.
Money money money, Chinese football can not be separated from, can not avoid the topic, in the end will inevitably destroy football. Therefore, it is strongly not recommended to involve women's football and become the force field of "money and money". As for the men's football team, it only hopes to be able to return to a fair and reasonable market environment and develop benignly.
Of course, this wish has been said for so many years, and it has never been realized.
